TAXED PEN

Published Friday, September 18, 2026

Houston Astros's bullpen has covered 16.0 innings across 11 relief appearances in the last 3 days, including heavy usage on back-to-back nights. A pen carrying that workload is short on leverage arms, and the innings fall to whoever is left — which tends to show up late rather than early.
